Toyota rav4 2011 rear differential bearing,seal&dust deflector replacement! 

I'm glad you were able to fix your differential! It's ridiculous how Toyota dealership won't sell the kit. And trying to sell the whole unit for so much money.

You're welcome. Happy now year 2021!

True to that! SIR! The dealerships they don't sell the parts as a kit. They only sell the whole differential which at that time quoted us about 1500 Dollars. Too crazy!

I also installed new bearing with no o ring.

Nope! Only remove the 4 nuts holding the shaft then push it on the side then remove one of the two brackets holding the coupler transfer case then you should be able to take it down! 😉

@@johnh7058 labor would be much easier if you can find aftermarket assembly now if you do just don't throw away your old one just in case the aftermarket fails & less time if you don't have to replace the bearing, coupler and gasket etc etc.

@@lunasautogarage9643 Thanks for info.

The guy that bought the parts, I think he bought them on ebay & yes seal was slightly different but it fit in & yes I had to use the old deflector which nothing wrong reusing in this case since it is only to prevent dust, dirt , moist etc getting into the coupler ! It would be nice if Toyota would sell the kit but sadly they do not! BTW it's been about a year or so & the noise never came back & the leaking issue got fixed! Hopefully yours gets fixed as well! 🤞

@@lunasautogarage9643 Thank you for the quick reply. Have a nice day, and keep posting useful videos.

Unfortunately if you wanna replace them you will need to take the assembly apart! But what I've noticed is that the studs are attached onto the assembly! Your best shot would be to remove the broken stud with a drill bit then make a whole & make some thread & attached a new stud of the same size ! That would be my first route! Second route would be a junk yard & buy the assembly & swap just the part that's broken! Sounds tedious but it's doable! Hope it helps! 🙏

@@lunasautogarage9643 so it's not possible to remove the stud from outside the housing? Many thanks

@@daijoubu4529 I saw in another video that those studs may be taken out without disassembling and even without taking the thing from the vehicle

Toyota still doesn't sell the internal parts for the differential which doesn't make sense . I feel sorry for all those people who have to deal with this issue.

Yes! Drain it before taking apart the assembly!

This is only for the 2011-2011 model. If yours is 2008 then it's different. What parts are you looking for? Check on ebay .

@lunasautogarage9643 exactly these parts and the seals for each side of the cv axel. So far I've only found that new cv axels are my only choice to get those seals and for the 2008 there is no seal on the front of the differential. Just press that sylinder down and put the dust deflector on. So far and I've done so much reasearch, talked to So many sellers and even called Toyota to figure it out and thsts what I got from all of it. I really appreciate you replying tho.. most people never reply so I really do appreciate your time.

Check this link I just sent you. Says it fit your rav 4 2008 . It's the whole assembly coupler. Hope it helps.

@lunasautogarage9643 yeah I did see this I think this might be where I have to go to but it seems ok for now. I'm more concerned about this damn hub I can NOT GET OFF. I mean I seriously heated this thing up for 10 minutes with a torch and took a candle and let the wax seep in the threads then took a breaker bar with a 4ft extension which wqs about 5 ft if not more to get off just the 12 point 30 mm nut off the front of the hub. Finally I got thet off and now the back 4 won't budge either. This thing just failed one day and seeing the differential fluid around the differential I thought it was that but upon further inspection and not being able to move thet tire it's definitely the hub I csnt see or tell if anything else is wrong. So far just that. The 4 bolts onbthe back of the hub are SO CLOSE to the cv axel boot I can barly get any tool on those bolts let alone get enough torque to remove them. It's absolutely CRAZY. Even more do since i laid someone over $400 to replace both front hubs and now I see they were never even touched 😔 time was not a friend of mine and I had no choice but to let someone else work on it. Lesson learned ill never let anyone else touch my vehicles. It's a shame the mechanics here in jersey are so dishonest. I wish so bad thet I could open my own shop. Good hard working people can come to and KNOW there getting the most honest service and best parts at reasonable prices. Plus i get to extra knowledge doing said job's. The price for a break job around here is judt under $400 and that's with my own parts it's absolutely unacceptable. Crazy prices here for anything to get done on your vehicle. Judt a basic synthetic oil change at our Walmart is over $90. I understand they have to dispose of the old oil but damn. Smh. Thanks again sorry I got off track a little there. But yeah I think the whole coupler is probably the best way to go at this point. After I get this got damned hub off.

It was making some noise & leaking fluid on the back of the deflector which as you can see on the video there's a seal there which it was failing! Ever since I replaced the kit I show on my video, all the issues went away! 👍

No idea lol😁 Sir! But most shops where I live charge between 80 to 120 an hour! Now do the math 😊 even if they could replace the parts still cheaper than buying the whole assembly! The dealer sells it for over 1200 Dollars plus taxes !

Yes! Very little info on those bearings! Toyota only sells the whole assembly which i don't understand why they wouldn't sell parts to repair its components!

@Luna’s AutoGarage When I'm finish with the repairs. I'll post back here. I've noticed some had difficulty finding the correct bearing size for the 2009 (August) Canadian model.

??????????

You can buy it on eBay 😉 & I do believe eventhough your car is a Toyota , Chevrolet dealer sell this bearing. I do wanna believe your rav4 is 2009 2010 & 2011 used the same bearing!

It’s a 2008 still the same bearing and I asked the Toyota dealer but they sell the whole thing they don’t sell it by separate but I’m more likely wanting to know what the specific name and it’s location so I can search it up or if I can contact some other company or type that can hand me this bearing that way I’m willimg to explain?? Or how much is the price??? Or am I willing to buy it maybe o Reilly o autozone ??

Can the bearing you mentioned be used on 2008 model?

You can buy it on Ebay ! There are a few sellers where you can buy it from.

@@lunasautogarage9643 can you post a link to the seller of this kit? i cant find the part number or reference for the oil seal, it looks like the bearing and dust deflector part numbers have already been figured out

@@robertficek7586 did you buy the oil seal

@@santygomez1122 I bought the main input pinion seal to the differential and replaced that, i didnt disassemble or replace any parts of the actual magnetic coupler, (not necessary unless there is a bearing failure), the source of the leak comes from the differential. I did get the part numbers for the magnetic coupler. Double check that these parts correspond to the correct magnetic coupler as there are some variances between models and years.
